When studying the chemistry of [60]fullerene, a major effort generally went into the functionalization of the C60 molecule by adding one or (more rarely) several substituents followed by their transformations, t At the same time, in connection with the unusual chemical and physical properties of the [60]fullerene nucleus, it is of interest to construct substrates containing several fullerene nuclei in the molecule, including polymeric compounds. For this purpose, we studied interactions of [60]fullerene with bifunctional tetrachloro-p-and -m-benzenedicarbonitrile oxides. Previously, it has been established that [601fullerene reacts with nitrile oxides to form the corresponding isoxazoline derivatives as a result of [3+2]-cycloaddition at the double (6,6) bond of the C60 molecule, z-6The reaction of [60]fullerene with 2,3,5,6-tetrachlorobenzene-l,4-dicarbonitrile oxide 7 (1) (Scheme 1) was carried out by portionwise addition of dinitrile oxide 1 (30 mg, 0.1 mmol) to a stirred hot (100 ~ solution of In the IK spectrum (KBr) and in the visible region of the electronic spectrum (a solution in toluene) of compound 2, the most intense bands at 529, 578,856, 1212, 1332, and 1423 cm -I and at 334, 538, and 599 lam, respectively, are caused by absorption of fullerene nuclei. t In addition, the IR spectrum has a strong absorp-
